Abstract

An article management method is provided to minimize exposure of personal information, enable traceback in the event of non ownership and allow management and processing by means of setting up/lifting restrictions on an article and/or a terminal only in case of real ownership, thereby preventing additional accidents and having an autonomous management function. The article management method uses a system including: a server that stores not only an intrinsic article code for an article but also an intrinsic terminal code for an article owner's terminal; and a terminal that connects to the server based on the terminal code. The article management method comprises: an ownership registration step of registering the terminal code to the server as a registration terminal code by matching the terminal code with the article code, upon request from the terminal for registration of the article code; a restriction setup step of setting up restrictions on at least one of the article code and the terminal code when preset conditions for the restriction setup are met; a restriction lifting step of lifting the restrictions on at least one of the article code and the terminal code when preset conditions for the restriction lifting are met; and a management and processing step of enabling management and processing depending on whether the restriction is set up for at least one of the article code and the terminal code when preset management and processing are performed for at least one of the article code and the terminal code, upon request from the terminal for management and processing.
